While teaching English offering English as an Additional Language (EAL) to small and facilitating cultural exchange has always been at the heart of groups (30 to 75 students) each summer. The biggest group the ELC, when I reflect on our past, I know that the team behind attending ELC programs in those days was sent by the our programs has spent just as much time learning as have our government-funded ‘Explore’ program, from French Canada. students. We've come a long way: from small summer programs Explore students still join our programs to this day and we look in tiny campus buildings that are now slated for demolition, to forward to hosting them every May. year-round programming in one of UVic’s most beautiful facilities. Overhead projectors have been replaced by smart screens and I joined the ELC as an instructor in the summer of 1993 and have our students now use Moodle, blogs, work on laptops and submit been here ever since. At that time, for me to keep my teaching assignments online. Still, the fundamental work we do has not position, the ELC needed to have 150 students in the program. changed: we welcome people from all over the world, help them We had 10 teachers who worked full-time and we hired a few to meet their language and life goals, and facilitate the formation additional teachers for August programs.

Amazingly, we still know most of the students by name, as our dedicated Registration team works closely with them before their arrival. As well, our CAs remain a crucial source of support to our students throughout their studies. Steady growth in our student numbers over the years has allowed the ELC to expand its programs, services and facilities exponentially. ELC programs now begin every month and offer an increasingly diverse range of activities which allow students to learn more about Canadian culture while practicing their English skills.

Having a centrally located ‘home base’ on campus made a tremendous impact on the ELC student experience and the 2016 addition of a third wing to our building has been a similar ‘game-changer’ for the ELC. The central atrium is a favourite study space for our students seven days a week and has given us the capacity to offer more creative and ambitious social activities than ever before. The building expansion also facilitated a community-oriented re-imagining of what was previously known as the Study Centre and Pronunciation Clinic. In 2018, we launched the ELC Learning Centre, a flexible, welcoming drop-in facility where our students have conversation practice with Canadian volunteers, attend workshops or get extra help with homework from ELC continuingstudies.uvic.ca • 250-472-4747 REFLECTING ON 50 YEARS OF ELC 53
